C 1000 Plus - Naturliga produkter Calivita

In natural vitamin C, ascorbic acid molecules combine to form multiplied, chemically complex molecules, which makes its action much longer than that of simple, synthetic ascorbic acid.

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins, which means that it is quickly excreted from the body. However, thanks to modern production methods (Delayed Release Tablet Technology), the active ingredients of the product are released more slowly, which ensures their gradual absorption into the blood and a constant level in the body. The preparation C 1000 Plus, in addition to vitamin C of natural origin, also contains powdered rosehip fruit from organic farming, which helps protect cells against oxidative stress (has an antioxidant effect), has a beneficial effect on the immune system. The rosehip also helps maintain the health, flexibility and mobility of the joints, supports the proper functioning of the urinary system, and plays an important role in digestive processes.

In diseases with fever, the need for vitamin C increases. The dose of vitamin C must be increased when we take contraceptives, steroids, painkillers and aspirin, when we frequently consume alcohol and smoke cigarettes.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins, so within a few hours - and even faster under physical stress - it is excreted from the body. Fortunately, there are already long-acting preparations (TR - timed release), thanks to which vitamin C can continuously affect the body.

The importance of vitamin C was known long before its discovery. In both ancient and early modern times, scurvy was a plague among sailors. During the trip around the Cape of Good Hope, Vasco da Gama lost 67% of the crew because of this. In the years 1600 - 1800, scurvy was the cause of the death of about 1 million sailors. Mass illnesses on ships were exhausting the sailors, despite the fact that at the end of the 16th century it was noticed that citrus fruits prevent scurvy. However, it was not until 1747 that James Lind performed the first clinical test: he divided the sailors suffering from scurvy into six groups and administered different substances to each group, thus showing that only the group who had received large amounts of citrus had recovered. Vitamin C was only isolated in 1928 by the Hungarian doctor Albert Szent Győrgyi, who received the Nobel Prize for his achievements nine years later.
